A slave sits down to be shaved in a barber's shop beside a field where men are playing ball. The ball strikes the barber's hand, the razor goes in, and the jurists argue over who is answerable: the player who threw, the barber, or the man who chose to bare his throat in such a place.

Justice is the constant and perpetual desire to give to every one that to which he is entitled.
The Digest of Roman Law, Justinian
